Rainbow Six, by Tom Clancy

I'm trying to get back into my Lost booklist - but reading has been slow for me the past couple months. Seem to be kept busy by work, socializing, gardening, art classes, beach trips, and more.

I am half-way through, however, with Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. A book shown in Lost episode "Orientation" to be sitting on a shelf. The premise is simply, there are some super scientist villians around the world engaged in a secret conspiracy to spread a plague to wipe out humanity in order to cure Mother Earth from her own human plague. The heroes are a team of supersecret black ops specialists called "Rainbox Six" from America and Europe working to uncover the conspiracy and stop the release of the plague. It's readable, fast paced, but not terribly thought provoking. According to Lostwiki, the tie-in to the world of Lost was through the Lost Experience, wehere it was revealed that the Hanso Foundation also planned on spreading a plague to wipe out humanity.

I never really got into the Lost Experience, so I don't really know how that all played out.

Next on the Lost booklist is Aldous Huxley's Island. I've read a couple chapters, but will finish Rainbow Six before getting to involved in Island.

TTFN,
